A Symposium.
The Ashland Tidings, one of the most
conservative papers in this state, con
tained the following paragraph :
"Sam Jones' coarse style, which ap
proaches too near the vulgar to suit the
average audience of intelligent people on
the Pacific coast, at least, is what nas

need his ministrations.
It seems strange in this afternoon of
the nineteenth century, such a man as
Jones can get invited to dahver ad
dresses before sn wsembly, such as th3
Chautauqua society is composed of.
Seemingly a man can say snyihing un
der the cloak of religion, and he escapes
press criticism on account of offending
some church. That Sam Jones is a dis
ciple of the Devil and his works, is
clearly proven by his vicious attacks on
the public schools of the country, at Or
egon City. A large number of his au
dience left the building and refused to
listen further to Sam's ribaldry. But

he uses relision as a cloak for his vul
garity and abuse for our educational in
stitutions. Eugene Guard.

is the coarsest blatherskite who is al
lowed to talk to an American audience.
If a decent minister were to use the vul
gar, objectionable language he employs,
he would be kicked out of the pulpit,,
and yet people go and hear Jones and
think thev have received a treat. It is
more of a circus. Jones says some splen
did things with his vulgaiity, and is no
doubt unique and entertaining, but if his
style is the proper one then the minis
ters of the country had better adopt it
for it draws the crowd Albany Demo

have criticised Sam Jones are aflictied
with "meek mcdesty." Indeed I The
Statesman man probably belong to the
crowd who delight to listen to smutty
stories told in public or private. Such
people have unfortunately allowed their
minds to become diseased, so that the
.more vulgarity and coarseness exhibited
by traveling fakirs like Sam Jones, the
better they like it. The latter class is
always expected to object to anything
like a criticism of the unrefined and the

Sam Jones, the so-called great evange
list, lectured al Oregon City and Ash
land last week, and if the daily' papers
reported him correctly, he is a wishy
washy preacher at best. His "lectures"
consisted of silly platitudes and old
chestnutty yarns in which Jones gen
erally figured as the hero; and some of
his assertions showed him to be on tne
ragged edge of lunacy. For instance,
what other condition of mind than lu
nacy could inspire the statement made
at Oregon City by Sam that beauty was
dangerous in a woman, and that if he
had an' exquisitely beautiful daughter
he would pray God that she might have
the smallpox. Rotten, indeed must be

nincompoop who cannot conceive of a

Rev. Sam Jones is the biggest blatter
that has escaped from the Atlantic Sea
board in a dozen decades. He is a slang
slinger from "way back." He is not an
orator, ' he is not a minister of the gos
pel, he is a roaring farce evangelizing
for cash. He is vulgar and almost ob
scene. He is crosB and garnished with
brummagen and prunella. He is a rough
and tumble pulpit clown. He brings relic-inn
into contempt and would do as
a ,
much good as a bar room entertainer
he cftn as an alleged preacher. Years
ago Jones was a novelty and the pruri
ent ever seeking new sensations went
to hear him. One dose was enough to

many different opening? into the nether
world that the subterranean pilot can

if he wants to and never miss a date1
Dante wouldn't be in it with Jones as
an opening attraction in the realm of
the Bottomless Pit. He succeeds where
he is but little known. One harangue

hopeful in the struggle, and a com

his lips. He was a good man and he
died peacefully and bravely, accepting
the decree, nor protesting except for his
family's sake. He idolized his wife and
daughter, just entering young woman
hood, who are left to mourn his untime
ly death.
Mr. Rowen was born in Elizabeth, N.

Mr. Rowen was engaged for eighteen
years with Mills & Co., printers, of this
city, working from the bottom to the
top of the business. Afterwards he was
a member of the Iowa Printing Compa-
np, which bought the business. Until
his illness he was employed as Iowa
agent for the American Type Found- y
Company, of Chicago, and was a very
valuable employe. He traveled over
the entire state and was very popular.
He was a member of the Iowa State
Traveling Men's Association.
About eighteen months ago he was
taken with consumption, and soon after
ward, under the advice of doctors, went
to Phoenix, Ariz., where he was some
what improved for a time. He then
went to Colorado and spent months in
Pueblo, Manitou and Colorado Springs,
but was unable to find that which he
sought. He returned home a few weeks
ago but yet everything was done for
him that the tender heart of wife and
the loving affection of friends could sug
gest, v,
Mr. Rowen was married September 1,
1880, to Miss Emma Brown, of this city.
Mrs. Rowen and their one daughter,
Miss Grace, aged 18, are left in the
darkened home.
